Some viewing alternatives for State of the Union Monday: What's your poison?

[Faygo Kid]

Assuming no one here is interested in listening to any more lies from the chimp, and can't take another "speech" consisting of saber-rattling about "nukular" weapons, I am listing - as a public service - some other TV viewing options. Your choice and why?

[niyad]

1. there is radio, and movie houses, and BOOKS.

[grasswire]

2. nah, you watch it playing a drinking game

Every time he says "hard work" you drain the glass.

[Eurobabe]

3. I'd have to be full on wasted to watch that asshat n/t

[Yael]

6. Is that the key to tomorrow?

I'm in. :evilgrin:

[Bright Eyes]

9. Better yet, Every time he says "Iraq" or "Iran"

Take a shot. You'll be drunk 3 minutes in :) :beer:

4. Quiet night with books.

Same on Tuesday night for Granholm's State of the State. She totally broke almost all of her economic promises last year. I'm done getting my hopes up there with her.

[ThomWV]

5. C-Span - I don't want any commentary, I just the fact of the speech itself.

[cureautismnow]

7. How 'bout "DU TV?"

:D

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

8. Dracula playing "God Bless America" on a blackborard with his teeth would be less painful.

And, his pronunciation would be better.

[begin_within]

10. Watching paint dry

[sutz12]

11. I'll be chairing the 7:00pm meeting....

at the local Alano Club.

I'm mildly curious as to how much he'll be praising himself for his "stimulus package" but not enough to stiff my fellow sufferers.

[Irishonly]

12. Watching V

Sicko any number of movies, read a book.

[FlyingSquirrel]

13. We've already seen the SOTU six times... Here's what he'll say

I won't watch. But afterwards, as an exercise for my 12yo daughter, I'm gonna have her check my list against the transcript of it and see how close I got.

[Faygo Kid]

15. Simply excellent. Also, we get to see Cheney climb out of his hole and appear.

Thanks for the list. Pretty complete, I would say. The only question I have is the same as the person skeptical of him using so many multisyllable words.

I'll check with my 31-year-old daughter, too. Of course, she can't watch him. Makes her physically ill (and my partner here - well, she has the same physical response).

[Swamp Rat]

14. I'll be reading

all day and night

[Faygo Kid]

16. OK, but what?

I have my usual quota of three books going at the same time - what are you reading?

[Swamp Rat]

19. Dozens of books and articles

I'm in grad school, so I have about a 300 page per day diet. The main texts I am reading at the moment are on: advanced quantitative methods (multivariate and spatial statistics), research strategies for writing dissertations; and remote sensing image analysis (photogrammetry). I am also working on a dissertation bibliography (lots of reading and skimming), and writing an article review for a peer reviewed journal regarding remote sensing of water resources (analysis of water quality using infrared images from satellites; Landsat 7 TM+, MODIS, IKONOS, etc).

I am, however, just about to start reading some sheet music (play guitar) of some Brazilian chôro tunes (early Brazilian classical/jazz music), when I log off here.

What are you reading?

17. FX: "The Italian Job" (2003) PG-13, ***, 01:51, Color, English, United States,

A master thief (Mark Wahlberg) and his crew plan to steal back a fortune in gold bullion after they lose it to a double-crossing gang member (Edward Norton).

20. Turn On The State Of The Union Monday Night

I am invited to a friend's house tomorrow night.

Several people will be there. We get together every SOTU night.

We turn the TV to the SOTU.

But we mute the sound.

Then we sit around and shout things that we wish Bush would be saying.

[NOLALady]

21. I was thinking about watching the grass grow.

[Catshrink]

22. What's on Animal Planet?

probably my first choice. There's always DVD.

[Zorra]

23. Kill your television.

When you say, "what's your poison", I wonder if you know how literally accurate you are in your choice of words.

[Zech Marquis]

24. Casino Royale

I brought the blu-ray version for my PS3, so that'll be something I can actually enjoy watching and not feel ashamed of it afterwards :evilgrin:

[hulklogan]

25. Aren't there reruns of "Bad Girls Club"? Greatest show on TV. n/t
